The 2022 European Union report on pesticide residues in food provides an overview of the official control activities on pesticide residues carried out in the EU Member States, Iceland, and Norway. It summarizes the results of both the EU-coordinated control programme (EU MACP) and the national control programmes (MANCP). The analysis of the results from all reporting countries is presented in a data visualization format to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive, easily digestible analysis of the European situation related to the findings. The conclusions and recommendations derived from the results remain within this report, giving risk managers a tool for designing future monitoring programmes and taking appropriate decisions on which pesticides and food products should be targeted. The report includes the outcome of the deterministic risk assessment, both acute and chronic to single substances, and the consolidation of the methodology introduced last year on probabilistic exposure assessment to single substances, where probabilities of exceedance of the health-based guidance values (HBGV) of pesticides have been calculated in different subpopulations of European consumers for the 193 pesticides (corresponding to 199 active substances) listed in the EU MACP Regulation. The purpose of these calculations is to provide readers with a deeper insight into the risks of dietary exposure to pesticides and to evidence the differences between the two methodologies (i.e., deterministic and probabilistic). The probabilistic methodology was found to provide a better estimation of real consumption events. The EU MACP randomly sampled covers the most consumed food products by European citizens as indicated in the EU MACP Regulation (EU) No 2021/601. The control of these products is distributed across a 3-year cycle, so that every 3 years the same products are analysed. A snapshot of the situation in 2022 of the pesticide residues present in those food products is provided and compared with 2019 and 2016. In 2022, the 12 food products selected in the EU MACP were apples, strawberries, peaches (including nectarines and similar hybrids), wine (red or white), lettuces, head cabbages, tomatoes, spinaches, oat grain, barley grain, cow's milk and swine fat. A total of 11,727 samples were analysed. Overall, 11,535 samples (98.4%) were found to be within the legal limits. MRLs were exceeded in 192 samples (1.6%), of which 100 samples (0.9%) were found to be non-compliant when taking into account measurement uncertainty. On average, 66.7% of the samples analysed were domestic, 22% were from other reporting countries, 7.7% from third countries and 3.6% were of unknown origin.
